6 June 2011

The work, along a six mile section of the route between the A689 Wolviston and A179 Sheraton interchanges, will start on Sunday 19 June and is due to be completed by Thursday 7 July.The northbound carriageway will be closed completely from 8pm to 6am overnight between Sunday evenings and Friday mornings with a 50mph speed limit in place on a temporary road surface during the day.When the carriageway is closed for the overnight work, traffic will be diverted eastbound to Hartlepool via the A689 and then onto the westbound A179 to rejoin the A19 at the Sheraton interchange.Highways Agency project manager Andrew Crawford said: “This work will improve the road surface for all users and minimise the need for future roadworks. The overnight closures unavoidably involve quite a lengthy diversion and we ask that drivers consider that when planning their journeys.” END
